He may have been refering to the gravity water fill for the fresh water tank. But don't do that either. The normal tank drain is not on the bottom rather it is on the side about 3/8-1/2" above the bottom. If you put anti freeze in the tank it will not drain out. It will sit there, and freeze, until next spring when you add fresh water to use muffin it will mix in.. Unfortunately, while RV antifreeze won't kill you, it doesn't taste good either. It will take a lot of rinsing to get the taste of that antifreeze back out of the fresh water system. And it really isn't needed. What water is in the tank will freeze but there is nothing
that can be damaged.
